What have been the greatest challenges of your career so far?
I haven’t had to overcome anything dramatic so far, if I am completely honest, but I think what I am sometimes battling is the music industry’s desire to box artists. As well as solo concerts I play lots of chamber music, I collaborate with dancers and jazz musicians, and I love all sorts of repertoire. Back home in Holland I have full liberty, as people now know that I can do all those things, but abroad I am still challenging preconceptions!
